Peek Calendar - Simple & Minimalist Cal App Reviews

I love this app and how its designed. It works great for me to see whats happening in a day based on events and adding reminders. With the new update I cant move an item from one day to another which is annoying.

I waited forever for this update, and while the themes are great, all I wanted in this update was iPhone 6 and 6 plus support so that the keyboard wasnt massive and hideous. This is a complete disappointment.

The video demo blew me away -- compelling interactions & beautiful style. As a UX/UI design professional, I was more than excited. Sadly, excitement quickly became frustration, once using the app. [CON#1] After creating 3 events, 0 actually exist on the calendar. What?! Thats right, not a single event I created actually showed up on the calendar after I clicked the save check mark. Game over! …but lets continue. [CON#2] It changed all my calendar label colors to match its own theme. Not cool. There is a reason I chose the colors I did and they greatly aid in rapid scanning of dense lists of events. Now I must carefully read every event because label colors have no meaning. Slow. [CON#3] Some of the fonts are outrageously small. I have terrific eyesight, but man do these fonts get small and often dont have enough contrast to stand out from the background color. For reference, Im using an iPhone 5S. Squint. [CON#4] I never realized how important a quickly scrolling list of all events (or a week calendar view or search functionality) was, until I used this app and had to click on each day, one at a time, to figure out when an event was occurring this month. Painful. [PRO#1] The event creation sheet is brilliant. I absolutely love how you pick a starting time and length by holding and dragging. Awesome! Choosing calendar labels and incremental reminders was also perfectly executed. It honestly makes Apples default experience look and feel like a waste of time. Fancy. [CON#5] However, what is this map thing in the event creation sheet? Is it time zones? If so, please tell me what time zone Im adding to the event. You dont need to show all of them at once, just the current one. Pretty confused what it is because it is defaulting to Midwest and I live on the West coast. I slide it West when creating an event, in hopes of troubleshooting myself, but still have no idea what it is does because no events actually get added to my calendar ugghhh. Confusing. [CON#6] When I slide an event right to quickly peek at its info, instead of tapping into it, it shows 0hrs and no meeting location for every event, obviously not true. Hide and seek. [RECOMMENDATION] Unquestionably avoid this app. It doesnt matter if you are casual or heavy business user of calendars it isnt right for you. I was fine with the cost at purchase and proudly pay to support indie designer/developers, but this is honestly the first app Ive ever completely regretted purchasing. I desperately wish there was a way to get a refund (seriously, a calendar that wont even create an event). I gave it 2 stars for the beautiful user interaction innovations, but not the other three stars because the execution of those beautiful ideas was ultimately a failure. Watch the fun demo video then move on with life -- DO NOT PURCHASE.

Could never get the swipe right gesture to display events. Too buggy for me so I deleted the app after spending 20 minutes trying to get it to work.

Yup, like the review said, its a hipster calendar with no concept of time durations. Just let your feeling determine how long youd like to finish your 10am errand.

But isnt. It doesnt sync well with the native calendar app, crashes, created events dont usually save properly, and theres no way to set a specific ending time for an event (you can only set the duration).

Pressing on an event will randomly bring up one of three things: its actual time, 0:00 or just a blank space. Created an event and now I cant delete it.

Does not work well. Find another and for sure do not pay for this one.

Beautiful, minimal interface, reminiscent of Clear. Definitely lets you check out your day in a glance. Sadly, theres no way of seeing information about events, so that event called "Birthday Party" that was imported from Facebook stays an obscure title. Want details? Gotta open another app. And swiping right on an event gives you a little box that just says "0h -". Why? I have no idea. So basically, once these two issues are fixed, this could be a useful app.

Ill give it one star for the potential the app has. At this point, however, it is useless on my 6 plus. I cannot edit the name of the task. It will not store the duration in calendar view (in edit mode it shows correctly, but in calendar mode it shows a duration of 0 hours). One time i long-pressed the event and the calendars just starting scrolling endlessly. I couldnt stop it. Suffice to say Im glad I tried it while being offered for free. This one is not ready for prime time yet.

Some of the reviews on here seem fairly petty...I actually like this app a lot but got it under the impression that it would have that accordion look all the time instead of flattening out when you are viewing events. If the developer could do that I would like it much better. Aside from that it is slick, intuitive, and visually appealing.

Its been so long since this app was updated and you bring us new themes with IAPs? What about support for the new iPhones? If I add an all day event or a birthday, the app reminds me at 12 AM. Set to remind me one day earlier and it reminds me at 12 AM the previous day. The app had good design and bypassed iPhone default time picker by miles. But with free calendars all over the place (from google and sunrise), you guys need to step up the game a lot to remain a calendar with a reasonable amount of user engagement. Then IAPs will pay. And IMO the new themes don’t look good. What you fired your designer?

Im in love with the design and gestures but i cant delete events, i cant "peek" at events, the cup thing doesnt work, and it just seems unreliable.

Pretty means nothing, if the intended function doesnt work. This is the biggest piece of junk, even for free.

I swear this app doesnt remind me. I miss appointments because of it. I should have just keep my 1$ and relied on Siri

This app used to be wonderful, it was the first app in line of all my other apps, but now it crashes. The great experience is no longer there. Now, Im not even able to save an activity. I advice that the developers fix this amazing app and update it to the App Store with a new version but once theyve tested it throughly multiple times.

This APP really failed to fulfill any promise it makes on the description. Ive got it running on my iPhone for more than 6 months. It does not function correctly. Like when you make a new appointment and then you want to change or delete it and its not possible. Not functional. Really disappointed!

...but it doesnt. I love the design & couldnt wait to use a minimalist tool to tame my nutty overwhelming calendar items. But the app plain doesnt work. Its buggy. It crashes. And Im crushed--I really wanted to make this my go-to calendar. Once it is fixed Id even happily pay for it! But for now "free" is too high a price to pay in exchange for the frustration & disappointment this app has given me. :(

All the pieces are there but the execution is off. I cant get calendar events to delete once they are entered. I didnt pay for this app so I havent lost anything but my time but I am still very disappointed.

My first iphone was the 4 on release day, and Ive hated opening calendar on my phone ever since, until now. If you do any calendaring on your phone get this app. Some bugs but still the best touch screen calendar out there
